Using acrylic paint, learn how to create stunning abstract paintings.  Learn what it takes to create a good composition, successful color schemes, and varied values. Have fun diving in and following your intuition!

A ‘mud” workshop for watercolorists, explore the vast qualities of color and experiment with opaque and transparent paints. This workshop is designed to show artists how to achieve “glowing” color in their painting. We will study the color wheel and tackle a few short exercises to help us understand how to better use color in our works.
 

Breathe life into your paintings by learning to draw and paint the human figure or groups of people and add them into your landscapes.  We will focus on a series of short exercises that will serve as a reference for you to use while working on your own unique compositions.
